Actually information about the selected range of cells is simply lost, or resets after picking the print dialog from the "print preview" window. So it's impossible to apply scaling (scaling ratio) to these cells after selecting of a range of cells and transition to the "preview window", then respectively, it's impossible to print this range of cells from "preview window".

Also there it's impossible to change scaling (zoom) ratio in Print dialog.

I also stumbled over this issue which is still present in version 5.2.1.2.
Comment 3 Nicolas Dietrich 2016-09-28 16:58:23 UTC
I created bug 102757 for the inability to preview printing of selected cells and thus the inability to print selected scales in a scaled manner.

This bug 102068 here is only about the accidental reset of selected cells.

Yes. I set bug bug 102757 to New and I'll change title here. Repro 7.1+.

I have also found that when you hit the Print Preview button, with the option of print selected sheets, nothing is there.  The only way to print, is to select the cells you want, and then press print button.

@Tim: you have changed Hardware/OS of this issue from "All" to "x86-64" and "Windows".

However this issue isn't specific to Windows (I have this issue on Linux), so I set it back to "All".

Also I doubt it is specific to x86-64, but I don't have another architecture to check at hand, so I leave it as it is.

No Worries @nicholas.

Makes sense
